Hi
How do you package a webapp for shipping?
make a war? okay, but I want things to be
setup in other directories as well. like
putting some jar files in common/lib and
putting a file myconfig.xml in common/classes.
Making a war should be fine. Why do you want to
install things
elsewhere?
well, I want my classes to be visible to soap webapp.
so I need to put them under common/classes.
Now once I take my webapp's classes up, I have to take
them all. so additional config files too in the
common/classes.
I have the problem to use a native library from
different web apps (i.e.
different versions of the same one) which requires
to install files into
some shared location, e.g. $CATALINA_HOME/lib. This,
however, yielded
some runtime problems: see subject howto install
shared jar's at
runtime in this mailing list.
Generally, if you want to deploy your webapp using
the (Tomcat4) manager
tool, there is no standard way to install files
other than in
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/XXX . Copying anything
elsewhere must be done by
your own webapp. If this is your problem, I could
provide you with some
code that allows you to unzip one given
jar/zip/war-file into different
file system locations.
But it would not be as easy as deploying a war file.
just place it in webapps folder and start tomcat once
and its done.
In my case, a script needs to be run explicitly.
telling this to a user makes his life hard :)
It seems I have to live with this :-)
Regards,
Hans
